A tutor should provide a safe space for the student, both academically and mentally. It is important that a tutor empathizes with the students and provide them vivid and interesting perspectives about the subjects which goes beyond school learning. Furthermore, it is needed that the tutor - student relationship be a team work, where the tutor is…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student is to allow the student to enjoy the process of learning the material. To me, if a tutor is able to create an environment that is enjoyable as well as make the learning process enjoyable it can help the student to improve a lot quicker as they are enjoying the process more. My strongest…

Fear is the only hurdle between a student and success. A tutor's most important job is remove that fear and boost the student's confidence. When the student is confident, any subject will seem easy to learn. I am a fluent English speaker and also have good leadership skills. I enjoy Mathematics and have sufficient self-confidence in my ability to…

I feel that encouraging students and pushing them to their full potential is so important. Some of the time, students aren't aware of what they are capable of and what they can achieve in their learning and I feel that paying attention to their strengths and areas of improvement allows them to recognise their potential. I am very passionate about…

A tutor needs to genuinely want the students to learn out of every session and care for the students. The tutor needs to be 100% focused on every second of the session. I am very patient and able to adapt to student needs. I think I can assess character easily as well, hence I know how to set the pace in terms of teaching different…

The most important thing a tutor can do for a student would be the support they can provide, doing this allows the student to feel as though they have something they can rely on during stressful times.

Teach the student how to approach new content, instead of just teaching them the content that they need to learn at that moment (of course, doing this as well is also beneficial). I am multi skilled in quite a few areas and very well versed having completed them very recently at an HSC level, and I believe I am approachable as a…

A tutor should assist the student in establishing confidence in a subject, by building independ thinking and a well rounded understanding of topics. This being said, it is not realistic to expect every student to achieve a high band 6, the progress that is made from the beginning of their learning process to the end is what counts the most, so…

The most important thing for a tutor to be able to do is listen and gauge the progress of the student. There is not any point in just explaining the content verbatim - the student is here because they could not just pick up the textbook and consume the content. From there the flexibility of the tutor's approach is vital to maximise the student's…

I think the ability to believe in a student in the most important thing anyone can do for them. If you don't believe in them you can't expect them to believe in themselves which would make your job way harder than it should be.

Inside ThornleighTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Tahlia focused on calculating percentage increase and decrease, including real-life applications like mark up, cost price, and discounts, completing extra questions from her test book for practice.

Year 9 student Malissa worked on simplifying algebraic expressions and revisited the topic of surface area with targeted review based on her recent test feedback.

Meanwhile, Year 4 student Hayes practiced division with remainders and applied BODMAS rules to fraction problems, before touching on area calculations for squares, rectangles, and circles.

Recent Challenges

A Year 11 student preparing for linear regression relied heavily on calculator methods without showing working, which made it harder to spot small errors or check understanding.

In a Year 8 English session, Ryan received feedback on his writing but did not act on it before the next lesson; as noted, he did not put the feedback into practice yet, so similar issues reappeared.

Meanwhile, a Year 4 student sometimes mixed up units and tens columns in multiplication, leading to off-track answers. This meant time was spent correcting basics instead of advancing to new skills.

Recent Achievements

A Thornleigh tutor recently noticed a big shift in Tahlia, a high school student who used to hesitate when she got stuck—she's now actively asking questions and working through tricky algebra problems instead of giving up.

Another win came from Ashton, also in high school, who scored 93% on his term test after weeks of focused revision; he tackled log, trigonometry, and simultaneous equations confidently this time.

Meanwhile, Hayes in primary school showed real diligence by completing all his assigned maths problems before moving on to extra challenges during their session.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Pennant Hills Branch Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Thornleigh West Public School.
